A quest is the stuff of legend. It is a truly impossible task, beyond the bounds of ordinary men and women, capable of being accomplished by a mere handful of individuals in the entire history of the galaxy. A successfully completed quest is a cornerstone and turning point for an entire campaign, marking the moment when the Crew steps into the annals of history.
“Always with you what cannot be done.”
Quests are often used as the basis for activating a powerful A is for Artifact, but can be harnessed throughout the life of a Star Wars RPG campaign whenever a truly miraculous event must occur. Quests use a new level of Difficulty, appropriately labeled as Impossible, represented as seven (7) purple Difficulty Dice. Attempting these tasks when under duress, with additional external factors, and in otherwise less-than-ideal situations upgrades the check and adds Setback dice, as appropriate.
Select from one of the insurmountable obstacles below to begin the design of your quest. Alternatively, roll 2d10 and let the luck of the dice begin your journey.
